Why apologize?
We did not meet —
They regret it,
But they do not blame.
So the plans went somewhere,
Spent on something else.
We will keep hoping.

God willing, we will meet again.
Maybe even in better conditions.
We will have a fruitful conversation
At future gatherings.

Sometimes even to grow bored
Is no sin,
So that no one could torment you
Right away.
